Since the all the trains between London and Paris were full for the next few days, we had to improvise and go to Brussels instead. When we got there it was pretty late, so we ended up just walking through the city in the evening and spent the night at the train station with all the other interrailers who hadn’t found a place to sleep. Sleeping either on the trains or at the train stations was something we did almost every night, as this saved us for a great deal of money, and kept us warm during when it was freezing outside.
After taking the morning train from Brussels, we got to Paris around 9 a.m and had the whole day to go see the Eifel Tower and eat as much French food as we could before catching the night train down to the French Riviera.
